Acid

If I'm here, pitiful
A soul in pain, uncomfortable
In this faceless city
A hundred times I've lost courage
 
I hurt myself if I bully myself
In this sad and sublime decor
If I hurt myself, night after night
Day after day, my love
 
If I pray and if I write
If I live the way they say
If I crush my empty heart
To extract the acid from it
 
If I cry and if I implore
The sky, life or death
If I die and if I bite
I would still think of it (?)
 
If I laugh like all these people
Kindly showing their teeth
Greeting like an insult
Making love like an exultation
 
If I drink and if I drown
My hot pain in my cold blood
If I bleed and if I sign
My tears to your unworthy heart
 
If I pray and if I write
If I live the way they say
If I crush my empty heart
To extract the acid from it
 
If I cry and if I implore
The sky, life or death
If I die and if I bite
I would still think of it (?)
 
If I break myself so often
For a kiss, an ill wind
If the sun doesn't reach me
If sleep doesn't extinguish me
 
If my lips hauled out my sorrows
In my regret of everything and nothing
If my dreams dragged into the morning
In place of living, I would remember
 
If I pray and if I write
If I live the way they say
If I crush my empty heart
To extract the acid from it
 
If I cry and if I implore
The sky, life or death
If I die and if I bite
I still think of it and then I write
 
And I live the way they say
And I crush my empty heart
To extract the acid from it
And I cry and then I implore
The sky, life and death
And I die and then I bite
Yet I still think of it
